<\/p>\nRUSH: Are you kidding me? Jerry Nadler can\u2019t read 658 pages. It would take him 10 meals. Six-hundred-and-fifty-eight pages! Is that what this thing was? Six-hundred-and-fifty-eight pages over this garbage?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There isn\u2019t 658 pages\u2019 worth of data because there were no impeachable offenses. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Trump\u2019s case denying Congress his financial records. You know what that does? That obliterates the second article of impeachment, which is abuse of Congress. If a court — in the case, the Supreme Court — has agreed to hear Trump\u2019s claim that he should not have to produce financial documents of his business or whatever else to any of these House committees, then he\u2019s not abusing Congress.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s going through the process. He\u2019s asking a court to intercede. That whole second article has just been blown to smithereens with the Supreme Court accepting this, and it ought to be removed from the articles of impeachment. Instead, what do we get? The witnesses that Chuck Schumer wants! So what do you think ought to happen here? We got two options. Do we do a, “Wham. Bam. Thank you, ma\u2019am,” trial — get in, get it, and get out — or do we do an elongated trial with bringing a bunch of Trump witnesses up there to testify and literally nuke the Democrat case?<\/p>\n
What do you think ought to happen here? Well, it all comes down to how many Republicans in the Senate do you think secretly hate Trump and want to vote against him. Well, you have to ponder that. And now here\u2019s Chuck Schumer — who said there shouldn\u2019t be any witnesses during the Clinton impeachment — now demanding his list of four witnesses, Mulvaney, John Bolton, and two other guys. I can\u2019t remember the other two names.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But now there will be negotiations over whether these witnesses should be called. Mitch McConnell last week said he wanted to have a “Wham. Bam. Thank you, ma\u2019am.” Trump said, “No, I want an elongated one.” Six-hundred-and-fifty-eight pages! Do you remember…? Those of you who went to school, you would be assigned a term paper or some kind of paper, and it had to be, oh, I don\u2019t know, 10 pages.\u00a0 And you couldn\u2019t write 10 pages to save your life.\u00a0 So what did you do?<\/p>\n
You put in a lot of reallies and commas and “I mean its.”\u00a0 You stretched it out.\u00a0 “Somebody made a really, really, really, really, really bad mistake.” You double spaced it. You put four spaces between the paragraphs. You had very, very wide margins — or narrow in this case.\u00a0 That\u2019s what\u2019s happened here.\u00a0 Throw some pictures in there in your term paper. Anything to get to 10 pages.\u00a0 What the Democrats have done here is put together something that can be reported as, “Six-hundred-and-fifty-eight pages? Wow! Trump must have done something.”<\/p>\n
The problem is — and I say “problem” — the Fox News poll is out, and it shows Trump\u2019s approval is up three points while the percentage of Americans who want him impeached and thrown out of office has not changed, and that\u2019s around 50 or 51%.\u00a0 Axios is trying to warn the Democrats, “You\u2019re losing ground on this.”\u00a0 We\u2019ve had a Democrat, Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, change parties after having a meeting with Trump on Friday.<\/p>\n
We got John Kasich out saying, “Well, he\u2019s just acting in his own self-interest.” (laughing) Really? Really, Kasich? “He\u2019s acting in his own self-interest! He\u2019s thinking about himself. He\u2019s not thinking about party.” Carly Fiorina, who has a new book out, is all over CNN, “Trump must be impeached.\u00a0 For me, it\u2019s all about character.”\u00a0 Don\u2019t you love it when our people start talking about character as though the Democrats have any, the biggest bunch of sleazeballs?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Adam Schiff is one of these people who has yet to tell the truth about anything.\u00a0 Devin Nunes is right: Adam Schiff needs to be in therapy.\u00a0 Adam Schiff needs to be in rehab.\u00a0 Adam Schiff needs to get some serious, serious help.\u00a0 He is incapable of the truth.\u00a0 He\u2019s living the lie.\u00a0 He\u2019s not living the dream.\u00a0 Everything Nunes wrote about the FISA warrant applications in the famous memo has been validated as true.<\/p>\n
So now they\u2019re running stories, “Where does the Devin Nunes — on a congressman\u2019s salary — get all the money to launch these lawsuits?”\u00a0 When is the last time the Drive-By Media ever asked, “Where did this Democrat pauper who shows up making a congressional salary end up leaving office in 10 years a multimillionaire?”\u00a0 Where has that story been?\u00a0 So I\u2019m thinking, I could just pick a page in this 17-page summary. Pick a page, read a paragraph, and then go back to the other stuff.<\/p>\n
Pick a page, read a paragraph, \u2019cause it is outrageous — and it\u2019s not just the deep state.\u00a0 It is the media. But, folks, they lied about everything.\u00a0 There was nothing in this pursuit of Trump, not a single thing.\u00a0 Everybody involved in this should be shamed, should be afraid to show their face in public, should be discredited.\u00a0 In an old, long-ago-forgotten America, they would be.\u00a0 But today, they just live to fight the lie another day.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing to this Ukraine phone call.<\/p>\n
There is nothing whatsoever to this, just like there was nothing to the Steele dossier. There was nothing to the Trump-Russia collusion story. There was no such thing as Trump or Carter Page being a Russian agent. There was nothing to it that Trump was a traitor, and there\u2019s nothing in this impeachment saga. There\u2019s literally nothing that Donald Trump has done that is an impeachable offense.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing that is even criminal.<\/p>\n
And one of the two articles has just been blown to smithereens with the Supreme Court taking Trump\u2019s case in which he doesn\u2019t want to have to turn over what you wouldn\u2019t want to turn over:\u00a0 Every financial document about your life. These lying, scheming Democrats are demanding it pull, and Trump doesn\u2019t want to turn it over.\u00a0 He\u2019s not obstructing Congress.\u00a0 He\u2019s going through the established channels to try to win a legal fight.\u00a0 That second article of impeachment now may as well be shredded.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Hot off the presses, the latest poll on impeachment comes from USA Today, and USA Today says, “Those surveyed oppose — by 51% to 45% — a Senate vote to convict Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.”\u00a0 There can\u2019t be an obstruction of Congress article now.\u00a0 But, anyway, 51-45 oppose a vote to convict.\u00a0 It\u2019s still outrageous that it\u2019s even 45.\u00a0 It\u2019s purely partisan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
